Product Overview
At its core, this software is a very powerful control engine that lets users link axes and activities together to create incredible moves that elevate live broadcasts. Robokam provides a complete control layer for robotic camera systems, remote studio infrastructures, and high-end automated production workflows, enabling broadcasters to unify a large variety of hardware and software devices under a single control environment.
The software architecture provides continuous operation in critical live broadcast environments, ensuring consistent performance and robust recovery mechanisms. It also integrates seamlessly with existing production control systems so that broadcasters do not need to change established workflows when adopting robotic technology.

HOW DOES ROBOKAM WORK?
Broadcast operation is built on a matrix structure which is accessed through the GUI (Graphical User Interfaces). Robokam is capable of receiving feedback from all studio devices, while supporting multiple processes, and offering modules for show running and broadcast automation.
Robokam offers complete flexibility beyond traditional live‑production camera moves, allowing users to adjust individual axes independently or in perfect synchrony, with changes easily applied to any element of the motion. The software can maintain seamless, stepless speed control, full synchronisation, smooth corrections or stops, and support for complex keyframed motions with ramps, even when speeds are changed mid‑move for each axis.
EXPERIENCE FULL CONTROL, FROM ANYWHERE
Robokam is built for broadcast workflows, with multiple user-station options for centralised or distributed control. Control stations from any location can be set up with the software matrix, with moves and pre-sets triggered by any user with access to the matrix interface.
Robokam’s ability to trigger external devices, such as lighting and mics, means a full studio setup can be configured at the touch of a button, making this a powerful solution for Hub-and-Spoke broadcast infrastructures.

Lambeau Field for the Green Bay Packers
Lambeau Field for the Green Bay Packers
At Lambeau Field, Robokam is integrated into an officiating support workflow. The system receives positional preset commands from an Evertz platform. These commands are sent whenever the ball’s position changes, in five-yard increments. Robokam interprets each incoming preset and immediately drives several robotic heads, each fitted with 8K resolution cameras, to precise field locations.
These cameras are used for detailed officiating analysis and for broader broadcast requirements during major events, including the Super Bowl. The installation demonstrates that Robokam can respond to rapid positional updates to deliver accurate, repeatable movements.

Distributed News Production for Hub and Spoke Networks
Distributed News Production for Hub and Spoke Networks
Robokam is widely used in modern news operations where several affiliate stations connect to a centralised master control facility. Commonly, when a presenter walks into a local studio and attaches a microphone and headset, the workflow is triggered, and the presenter and operator are then connected with a remote director located at the hub. Every camera movement within the studio is then controlled remotely. These triggers are linked to events in the rundown, such as opening sequences, bump transitions, shifts to a straight-to-lens shot, or specialised framing for graphics like lower thirds, to create a fully automated studio environment that provides consistent shot quality.

Nine Network Remote Production for the 2024 Summer Games
For the Games, Nine wanted to create a highly immersive, visually stunning broadcast, built on a workflow spanning three continents. To achieve this, they worked with AE Live and MRMC to create a studio that integrated real-time data and graphics with a high-tech camera robotic system while also allowing the production to be managed from the control centre located in Sydney. The ability to remotely control these systems added a new level of precision and creativity to the broadcast, making robotics and graphics the key drivers of the production process.

Exploring The Beauty of Broadcast At Prestonwood Baptist Church
The MRMC installation at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, is one of MRMC’s most extensive projects to date. The system, which houses several MRMC products, is run through Robokam, operated from three separate stations within the master control room, and includes MRMC systems as well as other PTZ cameras, controlling 9 cameras in total. The system is set up so that volunteer operators can easily pick up and run the production for their designated cameras, and also take control of any camera from any operating station as required.
